AbstractTreatment of multiple intracranial aneurysms is challenging. Neurologic status, aneurysm morphology, location, ruptured/unruptured status, availability of equipment, and patient preference are among the factors influencing the choice of treatment modality.1 Ideally, a 1-stage procedure is recommended whenever possible.2 However, patients with multiple aneurysms located in both the anterior and posterior circulation are less likely to be treated with a single procedure.3 We present the case of a 52-year-old patient who presented with recurrent headaches and progressive onset of a right eye ptosis evolving for 2 months. Her medical history was significant: an episode of eclampsia 20 years ago and high blood pressure managed with amlodipine. On physical examination, the patient was neurologically intact except for an isolated right eye ptosis. She had a brain angioscanner that revealed 1 right A1 aneurysm, 1 left M1 aneurysm, and 1 vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm. After discussion, we proposed a 2-stage procedure including a unilateral right pterional approach for right A1 and left M1 aneurysms and an endovascular treatment for the vertebrobasilar junction aneurysm. As illustrated in Video 1, both anterior circulation aneurysms were successfully clipped and the patient was discharged on day 4 with an intact neurologic status. Thirty days later, she underwent an endovascular coiling of the vertebro-basilar junction aneurysm uneventfully. She was able to return to work 2 weeks after discharge. The patient consented to publication of her images.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
